Felicity LeeIf anyone needs a recommendation to groups that are safe, private, and reputable, just email me – It is my personal preference to NOT post personal information on fb – there are many reasons for this preference – ‘safety’, to me means: that people who will mock me on some other blog (which has happened) do not have access to what I post. It means that my posts remain where I put them – and, if I want to take them down later, I can make that decision, and the owner will be able to completely remove them from the web – knowing that they are not sitting in everyone’s email and published on the web. It means that I know that there are guidelines, they are being enforced, and that the ‘owner’ has a reliable and long-term reputation within the survivor community – . I know that only the people who I know have access to pm me – and, I know that they have been screened before accessing me. I know that participating takes time and community – people can’t just jump in and read and respond on a whim. There are laws that therapists and drs. follow pertaining to confidentiality – for a reason. If my therapist were to breach confidentiality – not much I can say if my personal, mental health, and medical information has been spread all over the internet by ME – that is hypocritical. This is the very reason why IGDID fb page is blank. I do not and will never ‘encourage’ survivors to write there, but rather to take a few seconds to apply to and participate on safe boards which are not part of a ‘social network’ like fb. Owners of boards have spent many years – not a couple months – building community – something worthwhile and precious. Just wanted to put this out there. Safe care to you all

I Commented on this Facebook Post

Facebook sells EVERYTHING- why does anyone think what they post on here is exempt? Prospective employers look at Facebook- and many times demand the access to it- so to put really private things- like being demon possessed- could hurt any potential employment, housing, or any number of licensing. PLEASE DO NOT POST PRIVATE THINGS ON FACEBOOK. To do so publicly is NOT empowering- it is pure and utter stupidity that sets you up to look bad in anyone’s eyes that don’t understand or have the compassion to get involved. Despite what others- who are less than a year old- like Insomniac- who no one knows, let alone her friends- are DANGEROUS. Considering what others have gone through- why does anyone think that Facebook couldn’t be used in the same way. A therapist DOES NOT HAVE THE TIME TO SIT ALL DAY ON FACEBOOK AND MAKE “THERAPY” ROOMS. But I know someone and his group of friends- who do. Why would anyone think this place would be exempt. People are being lead- and they are being stupid- and if you wish to publish intimate details- then why don’t you just do so everywhere- and tell everyone that you see- because that is effectively what you are doing in here. Think before you speak. Otherwise- there are trolls who are looking to destroy the survivor community. They will do their best to rip everything apart- and they are focused, and they are VERY VERY REAL. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t put private intimate details on Facebook- and for God’s sake-= and your own- stop feeding the trolls. PLEASE.

why do you think I am dangerous?
I’ve never said I am a therapist, because I’m not. And I do know some people face to face and work with them and other survivors.
